Breast health guidance and support for all women

Guidance in choosing the best imaging and finding the best physicians can be found at Main Line Health. The staff understands that it can be a difficult and complicated process and has created a breast program to meet every woman’s needs.

Thanks to our nurse navigators, patients are navigated through the complexities of breast health and breast cancer diagnosis, and ultimately find what works best for them. Throughout the entire course of their disease management, our nurses give patients one-on-one guidance and support. The Main Line Health breast centers’ nurses:

Help patients understand their diagnoses

Communicate with health care staff and providers

Help patients understand medical terms and treatment options

Participate in a weekly multidisciplinary conference with physicians, genetic counselors and fellow nurses to discuss and determine the best treatment plan for each patient newly diagnosed with breast cancer

Teach cancer prevention, screening guidelines and the importance of early detection and breast self-exams
